Why Food is the New Drug

In our society today, it is not the drugs we purchase at pharmacy that most of us are addicted to. Food is our drug today, and food is our therapy. Even if we have that belly fat problem, we need to consume food in order to survive.

We consume food to feel better each day. Often, we reach for the fatty, greasy and unhealthy food. After all, they give the best “comfort”. They rapidly change our body chemistry and give us a better feeling.

Being a food addict is something that most of us will never admit. Now, it is time to do a de-tox. You should not worry because you won’t do the Lindsay Lohan thing because you will not need to check into a detox clinic or a rehabilitation center.

We can do this detoxification at home. And the secret to that is the so-called juicing.

To do this, you should start drinking only vegetable and fruit juice. You should not purchase any juice, unless it is fresh-squeezed without preservatives or any junk added. You can do this detox by having a juicer and juice the fruits and vegetables.

When you do this, you should take your multivitamins throughout the duration of this juice cleanse. In case you need to supplement this juice diet with more protein, you should have some almond milk. Make sure that you get a brand that contains the least amount of carbohydrates and sugar.

The only caveat you need to worry is that, just like any drug detox, you may have some withdrawals during detox. This is due to that fact that your body is addicted or used to simple carbs, sugar, salt and saturated fat.

The only thing you should do is not to give in. This is only done for a week. Think that you are stronger than most people. Just do it and you will reap the results later. This week-long juice diet can do wonders to your overall health and immune system.  This is also a great way to reduce belly fat in women because the body can quickly lose some pounds without the need to deprive the body of the nutrients it needs.
